I love trying out new cooking methods for tried and true foods such as soda bread.

Let me just say this is hands down the best mac and cheese I have ever made. I followed the steps exactly and used my new Instant Pot which, if you like to cook, is awesome! Now I'm gonna eat my lunch, and I bet you can guess what it is.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni (you can use other types but cooking time may need to be adjusted), uncooked
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup shredded mozzerella cheese
Heavy Cream
While not the most healthy, you'll need to use the heavy cream if you want the creamiest sauce possible.
Instructions
Place the macaroni, chicken stock, cream, salt, and pepper into the pressure cooker.
Set your pressure cooker to high, and set a timer for 7 minutes. (I think this time is perfect, but you may want to adjust it depending on how "done" you like your macaroni).
Once the timer goes off, let the steam out of the pressure cooker according to your machine's directions. Add the butter, milk, and cheeses to the pot and stir. Voila . . . best macaroni and cheese ever!!
Substitutions: If you only have milk handy, you can substitute the following: melt 1/3 cup butter in the microwave and add 2/3 cup milk in place of the cream. For 2% milk, just add a tablespoon of flour plus the above ingredients. It comes out perfect!
You can place bacon or sausage on it as well
